I should have clarified I don’t mean for the day, I mean for a week plus.

    Nah the whole point of my server is for running stuff I might want to access at any time

    Anything I would be happy to choose to turn on and off probably ends up running on my desktop PC instead

      Exact same for me, but I worry about some random electrical or bios issue that can’t be controlled when I’m gone.

        Then you deal with it when you get back. Easy as that. If it is non-critical enough to turn off when you leave the house, then it is non-critical enough fix it later when you have time. Fixing software/bios/program errors are not time-sensitive.

        Hardware now is EXTREMELY safe and it has to be tested against electrical surges, ESD events, and depending in the device, different temps in order to get CE conformity and UL ratings. There is a near-zero chance that it would cause a fire or something critical, especiallly because home servers typically are not under load most of the time.
